‎"RASK, RASMUS.‎

‎Original handwritten and signed letter for ""Hochzuverehrende Herren!"" (= Verein für Geschichte und Alterthumskunde Westphalens). - [ORIGINAL LETTER FROM THE MASTER OF PHILOLOGERS]‎

‎Dated ""Kopenhagen d. 13. Septbr. 1828."" 1 1/2 p. 4to. In German. In the letter Rask expresses great gratitude for having been announced ""Ehrenmitglied [= honorary member] des Vereins für Geschichte und Alterthumskunde Westphalens"""" the membership is effectuated from the 7th of August 1827, and Rask has received the diploma the same day as the letter is written. He describes what a great honor it is for him, and thanks the society many times, expressing his wish to be of use to them. He tells about his love for Scandinavian literature and his membership of the ""nordischen Ges."" and ""isländischen liter. Gesellschaft."" He wishes to live up to the responsibility this diploma gives him, ""[u]m aber etwas für die germanische Literatur oder Alterthums-/ kunde leisten zu können, bedarf ich viel mehr Hilfe von andern/ als ich solche zu geben im Stande bin."" He is currently working on an ""altsächsische Grammatik"", very much similar to his angelsachsische and friesische, but to be able to finish it properly, he is in want of an ""Abschrift des bekannten Bamberger Codex von/ der Evangelienharmonie, der gerade des beträchtlichste Stück von diesem Dialekt ist."" He has, however without luck, tried to get a hold of one and is now asking the society if they can be helpful.‎

‎With address and paper-seal on verso. Rasmus Rask is one of the absolutely most prominent and famous Danish philologers and is very well esteemed worldwide. He was the first to systematically study the ancient Nordic languages and is the discoverer of the relations between the consonants in the Indo-European languages. This discovery served as the foundation of the rules Jacob Grimm later formulated, underlying the Germanic and High-German soundshifts. In PMM Rask is yielded as ""one of the founders of the modern science of language."" (PMM 266).Letters from Rask are of the greatest rarity.‎

Først med Molbechs ansættelse som redaktør (1834-57) kom der fart på udgivelsen. ""Trods disse iøjnefaldende Svagheder tror vi dog at turde hævde, at Videnskabernes Selskabs Ordbog vil være af blivende Betydning for Kendskabet til vort Modersmaals og dets Ordforraads Historie særlig i Tiden fra det 17de til den første Halvdel af det 19de aarhundrede. Allerede den Omstændighed, at den har optaget største delen af det Stof, der er samlet i Moths store haandskrevne Ordbogsarbejde, vil altid give den en særlig Værdi.""

‎"RENAN, ERNEST.‎

‎Lettres Intimes - 1842-1845 - Précédées de ma seur Henriette. Quatrième édition.‎

‎Paris, Calmann Levy, 1898. Royal 8vo. Uncut in the orig. printed wrappers. A bit of wear to capitals, internally fine. (4), 408 pp.‎

‎Renan's closest confidante was his sister, Henriette, who helped him quit the clerical carrier. They helped eachother financially, travelled together (e.g. on archaeological expeditions) and lived together for many years of their lives. His widely famous work, ""Vie de Jésus"" is dedicated to her, and their correspondence is very interesting and catching.Ernest Renan (1823-1892) was a French philologist, philosopher and historian. His father died when he was aged five, and his mother wanted him to become a priest. Until he was about 16 years old, he was trained by the Church, but due to his investigative and truth-seeking nature as well as his studies (e.g. Hebrew), he was in doubt as to the historical truth of the Scriptures, and with the help of his sister he chose his own path in life. ""He studied intensively the languages of the Bible and filled a number of minor academic positions, frequently encountering difficulties because of the heterodoxy and outspokenness of his religious opinions."" (Printing and the Mind of Man 352). In 1840 he began studying philosophy and later philology, in 1847 he took his degree as Agrégé de Philosophie and became master at the Lycée of Vendome. After having returned from a mission to Italy in the year 1850 where he gathered material for his historical-philosophical masterpiece, ""Averroës et l'Averroisme"", he was offered employment at the ""Bibliothèque Nationale"" (at the manuscript department). In 1861 he was chosen to become professor of Hebrew at the Collège de France, but because the emperor refused to ratify the appointment (inspired by the Clerical party), he was not established in the chair untill 1870. In 1878 he was elected for the Academy. Renan is considered a scolar of the greatest excellence and an impressive writer.‎
